I Miss School

I miss Gerald poking me with his pencil.
I miss the cafeteria that is so noisy
it's like pots and pans
clashing in my ears.
I miss the stuffy bus rides that I hate.
I miss soccer and baseball and hockey.
I miss getting new books from the library.
I miss my free breakfast and my free lunch,
especially when I'm hungry.
I miss running in the gym,
and climbing the bars at recess.
I miss sitting at my desk.
I miss working at my desk.
I miss Sally
who tells everyone I love her,
when I don't.

I never thought I would say this,
but,

I MISS SCHOOL!
